Lakers may be a forced play. Chicago is really awful on the road on Sunday, Lakers certainly not over 500. And Chicago seems to like playing Atlanta and Brooklyn
 
lmao at the 3:30 ABC marque game.

They need to start doing flex-scheduling...(not saying better options today but in general)
 
Full card...

I like Thunder tonight - off a loss and against Knicks, who they played already off a loss this season and trashed. Knicks off one win is always a bad spot to fade them though, but I like Thunder non the less.

Wizards should win this one easily I think. They can't afford to drop two games below 50% after this home stand that they could have very easily been 3 - 0 and not 1 - 2.
 
okc should handle the knicks….so much better…but it seems that when i feel that way the knicks hang in there….okc 1st and game

mem -3.5 based on current form of each team….

wash should cruise….sac so bad
 
Cleveland is now 12-12 at home and has never lost 4 straight at home. The books opened it Cleveland minus 2 and it moved to Memphis minus 3.5. Cleveland or nothing in that game.
OKC I am Clueless. I believe NY won a day game recently and OKC beat them by 29 at NY recently and OKC has Portland up next.
 
As large chalk minus 10 or greater at home the Clippers are 2-4 and both wins were after losses.
Away at GS and home vs Suns and the Clippers next 2 games are Portland and Spurs both of which beat them in their last meeting. I am looking at Philadelphia but fairly unsure.
 
Where did you see cavs open at -2?

I did not see it but I did read it. can anyone confirm it or state that it did not happen?
actually at betVictor.com Covers line moves shows a start of Cleveland minus 2.5.
I think I see a minus 5 at CarbonSports
 
Funny line movement in NJ. Think the Jersey Nets will have a tough time with a Pelicans team that is improving with their backups. Finally playing the real ALL DAY 40 minutes/game and it = wins. Should be able to score enough to hang tight, if not win, in Jersey.

When Brian Shaw looks at the Knicks, he sees two incongruent teams, fraternal twins who upon close inspection do not really look very much alike.
There are the Knicks he watched from the Indiana bench last spring as the Pacers’ assistant coach during a tough, six-game second-round series that was a play or two from going seven. And there is this season’s 20-30 version of despair he hopes will continue along its .400 winning percentage after 50 games on the ruinous road to the draft lottery, with good reason. Shaw’s Denver team has one last nugget in play from the Carmelo Anthony trade of three years ago: the Knicks’ 2014 first-round pick.
“We’re trying to keep our head above water,” Shaw, the first-year head coach, said of his 24-24 team. “At the same time, New York is the media capital, and so you follow this team and it’s always out there, what this team is doing.”
<aside class="marginalia related-coverage-marginalia" data-marginalia-type="sprinkled"><time class="dateline" datetime="2014-02-08"></time>
</aside> This team was not doing so well, until it encountered its Denver cousins, who, much like the Knicks, have been diminished by alteration and injury from last season’s 57-win edition. But they have still been more competitive than the Knicks, albeit with less postseason hope thanks to the intensely competitive Western Conference.
The underlying benefit of the Knicks’ 117-90 victory on Friday night was a baby step in the direction away from the ultimate potential wreckage early next summer. That would consist of Denver landing one of the prize collegians projected for the draft and Anthony fending off the Knicks with his left arm to sign elsewhere as a free agent with his right.
Given that potential nightmare, James L. Dolan, the executive chairman of Madison Square Garden, was asking the wrong question if, as recently reported, he sought out Anthony’s opinion on Coach Mike Woodson after Wednesday night’s loss to Portland.
After scoring 31 points and momentarily easing the pressure on Woodson, Anthony called the meeting “just generic communication” and revealed that he and Dolan had drunk tea. But if Dolan saw nothing in those tea leaves to convince him that Anthony is far more likely to stay than go, then what is the point of taking Anthony’s temperature on Woodson, or anything?
What Dolan should be asking Anthony is, After all I sacrificed to get you, are you really going to make me sweat this out and then leave me with nothing?
Conversely, who more than Dolan would deserve the sounds of silence, if that is what he is getting? Who more than Dolan put the Knicks into this untenable position by creating an unstable environment that has continually undermined his willingness to invest above and beyond?
Nobody knows anymore what to say about these Knicks, which, of course, is fine by Chairman James, whose ideal means of communication is singing the blues. So we guess. And digress. Maybe Woodson will be fired if his team gets blown out Sunday in Oklahoma City so his replacement can make his debut at home against bottom-feeding Sacramento. Or maybe Woodson will hang on, given the team’s inability to fall out of the playoff race.
“Anything can happen once you get in,” said Woodson, whose rallying cry should be “1999.” That was when Coach Jeff Van Gundy was hanging by a thread until the Knicks rallied late to claim the eighth seed and Allan Houston’s runner in the lane propelled them past top-seeded Miami and on to the N.B.A. finals.
Before the Knicks talk themselves into believing they could beat Indiana or Miami in a first-round series, there is a daunting schedule over the next 32 games, 20 of them on the road. No matter who coaches them, the question that Anthony may ultimately base his decision on is this: Have the Knicks dug this hole with chronic underachievement, or have they settled into a place that fits them?

“You look at the numbers of Jason Kidd and even Kurt Thomas — they didn’t have whopping numbers that blow you away,” Shaw added. “But the little intangible things that they do, maybe in the locker room, just being the glue that holds everything together. Obviously injuries are one thing, but you take a future Hall of Famer in Jason Kidd off the team and you can’t really measure the effect.”
He paused and added: “Well, I guess you can now. You’re seeing it.”
Such assessments about the altered chemistry are nothing new. Certainly Woodson, man under siege, has addressed it. But after declaring on the radio that the season “has been kind of a disaster from a coaching standpoint in trying to get players to compete and play at a high level,” he did retreat, saying, “I can’t point fingers at nobody.”
Of course he can. What owner replaces his general manager on the eve of training camp after a 54-win season, as Dolan did? What team-first superstar goes public in preseason with a plan to opt out of his contract, as Anthony did?
Hard as he has played, as much as he has scored, Anthony has contributed to his own discontent. By putting a notoriously irritable owner on edge, he cast a cloud of uncertainty over the Knicks that can eat away at a team’s competitive core like a cancer.
Maybe he and Dolan will make Woodson the scapegoat. Maybe they won’t. But whatever was in those twin cups of tea, somebody had better add sugar real soon.

I really don't get the front offices sometimes.
Why not fire him before the two wins? Why not wait and see if things are getting better...

Bynum and Cheeks got into it the other night. Probably brought to the surface Cheeks losing the locker room...
 
okc really played like shit that first half and are still up 5

so many silly mistakes and easy points left off the board
 
Man, I know stuff like that can always happen, but Durant missing 3 of 4 free throws in the last 30 seconds, killed my OKC halftime bet.
